Being a Science and Engineering Ambassador not only helps to support the personal and academic achievements and career progression of the students, but it offers personal and professional rewards for the Ambassadors themselves. Listed below are just some of the benefits that Ambassadors have told us they enjoy.
Being an Ambassador can:
- help to further develop your planning and preparation skills
- help to strengthen your communication skills – knowing how to present and pitch knowledge at the right level for the students of different abilities
- give you a sense of achievement after delivering an activity
- help to identify what aspects of your job motivate and stimulate you most – many Ambassadors will pick out these aspects to focus on with the students
- give you a fresh perspective on your day-to-day job
- help to raise your profile at work
- contribute to your progression towards Chartered status
- be lots of fun!
What Ambassadors get out of the programme depends on their personal and professional goals and how much they put in to the programme.
